The final exam finally ended. Everyone chatted with each other celebrating their freedom. Yong In just sat down at her seat. Suddenly, the whole class became silent.
"Kim Yong In, can you follow me to the office?" Ms. Do said and Yong In got up from her seat to follow her. The whole class get back to what they were doing.
"Have a sit first." Ms. Do said and they both sat on the sofa in the office.
"What can I help you with, Ms. Do ?"
"It's like this... Since the exam already ended, our school wanted to organize a festival. So, you as the president of nature club, I would like to ask for your help."
"Sure. What is it?"
"The owner of a popular resort wanted to come and offer some worth package since it's summer holiday soon. What I needed help from you is I want you to be the promoter for them. Of course, there'll be some staffs from their company to help you that day."
"Thanks for giving me this task. I'll do my best."
"Good. Then, this is the flyers given by them containing the informations of the resort and the package offered." Ms. Do handed the flyers to Yong In.
"If there's nothing else, I'm going back to class now. See you." Yong In bowed and left the office. Yong In read the flyers while on her way.
"Oi!" Yong In startled and looked at the person that startled her. She looked around panicking.
"What are you looking for? There's no one here. Don't worry." Sung Ki chuckled.
"What are you doing here?"
"Look for you. Can't I? What's that?"
"Oh, this. Ms. Do asked me to be the promoter for this resort at the school festival. They're offering packages."
"Oh."
"How's your exam? Did you do well?"
"Sis... You know I hate studying, right?" He whined.
"I know but still it's important for your future. Are you planning to rely on your parents forever?"
"Of course not. Why? You're going to leave me if I'm jobless?"
"Do you think I'm someone like that? I just want the best for your future. I already thought you as my own little brother."
"Okay, I'm just kidding. If you want me to do so, I will do as you want."
"That's my boy." Yong In ruffled his hair.
"Sis... My hair... It's messed up... " He whined again.
"You look handsome anyway." Yong In walked away leaving him behind. Sung Ki sighed and went to the restroom to repair his hair.
"I looked handsome even with messed hair?" He talked to himself in the mirror then smiled.

Yong In dressed up and picked her bag.
"Mom, I'm going to school now!" Yong In's mom got out of the kitchen.
"It's weekend. Why would you go to school?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. The school are organizing school festival. I'm going to help with the preparation."
"Ok. Be careful on your way."
"I will." Yong In left the house and took the bus to school. As she arrived, everyone was busy with their works. She went to the nature club booth.
"Hello. I'm Kim Yong In." She greeted the staffs that were already there.
"Oh, hello. Finally, I get to meet you. I'm Mr. Lee, the owner of the resort."
"Hello, Mr. Lee. Umm... You know me?"
"Yeah, I've heard a lot about you from my son."
"Son ? May I know his name?"
"Lee Sung Ki. You know him, right? He told me a lot about you. And I've been wanting to meet you but as you know I'm busy with works."
"You're Sung Ki's father?"
"He didn't tell you about me?" Yong In shook her head.
"Ungrateful son. He bragged a lot about you to me but he never mention me to you?"
"Don't blame him, Mr. Lee. He bragged a lot about me? Hope it's something nice."
"Of course it's something nice. I'll tell you the other day."
"Sure. Then, I'll see what I can help with." Yong In went to decorate the booth with banner and some balloons.
~~~~~~~~~~
There were so many people came to the festival. Yong In also busy with dozens of people came at their booth.
"I met her yesterday. " From afar, there were two people talking with each other.
"Really? What's her reaction?"
"You're really something, huh? She said you never tell her about me. Why tough? I thought you will always brag about your rich father."
"Sorry, dad. I have a reason to do that. She didn't care for someone because of money."
"You're different, Sung Ki. You're not the Sung Ki that I knew."
"I know, right? She changed me a lot, don't you think so?"
"I can say that. Then, I owe her so much for making my son a better person." After the festival ended, Yong In helped to clean things up.
"Sis!" Sung Ki came to the booth with his dad.
"Oh,Sung Ki. Mr. Lee."
"Aish, don't be so polite. Just call me uncle. Let's go. I'll treat you to dinner."
"No, thanks."
"Let's go, sis... My dad have something for you. Right, dad?" Mr. Lee looked at his son with a questionable face. Sung Ki winked at him.
"Ah, yeah. That's right."
"Okay then. But, can you wait for a while. I need to clean this up first."
"Let me help you. Dad, you sit over there first." Sung Ki went to help Yong In.
"This kid..." Mr. Lee mumbled by himself and went to sit at a chair.
"Why don't you tell me about your dad?" Yong In whispered at Sung Ki.
"Is it important?" She slapped him.
"Of course it is. You're from a rich family? And what did you tell your dad? If not for your dad coming to school, I would've never known about this at all."
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I thought you didn't care about my background. And don't worry, I only told nice of you in front of my dad. So you better do the same."
"You want me to tell my parents about you too? Why should I? They don't even care who I'm friend with. So... Don't worry if I will talk bad of you because I'll never tell them." Yong In went to take her bag.
"Let's go." Sung Ki nodded and followed her and his dad to the car.
As they arrived at the restaurant, Mr. Lee went to the front desk.
"Hello, reservation under Mr. Lee, please." The worker checked something.
"Okay, follow me." All of them followed the worker to a private room. They sat down.
"I've already ordered the food earlier based on what Sung Ki told me about your favourite."
"Thank you, uncle."
"No need to. I'm the one who should thank you."
"What do you mean?" Yong In asked in confusion.
"Dad! Didn't you say you have something for her?" Sung Ki interfered making Mr. Lee shut his mouth.
"What is it?" Sung Ki whispered to his dad's ear.
"Ah... That... Sorry. I'm already old so I easily forget about what I said."
"It's okay." Then, the food was served.
"Let's talk after eat, shall we?" They ate silently.
"Okay, Yong In. I actually wanted to invite you to my resort. It's for free."
"No need to, uncle."
"Just accept it. Regard it as my thanks to you. You helped a lot during the festival and you're like my own daughter already."
"Thank you so much."
"My pleasure. When are you free? I need to alert the resort to save a room for you."
"I'm okay anytime."
"Then, how about next week? It's summer holiday, right?"
"Sure."
"Then, Sung Ki will pick you up later and you both can come to the resort." Mr. Lee paid the bill and send her home.
"Thanks, dad." Sung Ki said as soon as Yong In entered her house.
"No problem. You're my only son. Of course I have to fulfill your request. Take good care of her, son. Girl like her are hard to find these days."
"I will."
